I'm talking about structs, not classes.

Ok, but since D structs do not inherit, how does tail pad optimization apply?

struct S1 {
     int a;
     byte b;
}

struct S2 {
     S1 s1;
     char c;
}

Sé could be 8 byte long (some variation of this are in C++ for
instance if I make a public and b private).
